quote of the night

"I found the egg!!"
--Taylor, thinking he'd won a prize for presenting Bill with the goose egg he picked up along the course. (FYI: It's since been placed in another secret location.)

"I know. I peed myself."
--Heath, when informed that his pants were wet

"Keith, maybe you shouldn't drink beer AND ride your bike."
--Mrs. Plunkett, witnessing her son draped over his handlebar after the race

"I like to be held by my knees and my ankles."
--Kuklis, on his preferred method of kegstanding

"Hmmm, maybe that wasn't a good idea."
--Kuklis, moments after taking a hammer to his chainring.

"I think. I want. To vomit."
--Out-of-breath comment independently sputtered by Ryan, Kuklis, Selene, Heath, Scooter (am I missing anyone?) at the beer station during the reverse race.

"Just write down whatever. I forgot to start the watch"
--Bill, when asked to call out finish times for contestants in the race for people who don't race.

"There's no better way to end your birthday than to clean up after a 100 of your closest friends."
--Beth, commenting on the realities of hosting 5th Street Cross.

"No way, it's not like being electrocuted or anything. It's just a pulse."
--Bill, when asked if he was planning to turn off the goat fence for the miss-and-out race.

"I'd love to be paired up with one of the goats."
--Tom, on next year's Team Race, before disappearing to the woods

Just so we're clear - not just any goat will do!

Scooter: Kuklis, let me borrow your wheel so I can ride today.
Me: No, You will destroy it. I like this wheel
Scooter: Seriously, I'll be gentle. It will be fine
Me: No
Scooter: Come on....
Me: Fine, but you break it, you bought it

1 lap later at the PBR Stop

Scooter: Uhh, dude sorry
Me: For what? (looking down and noticing waffled wheel) What the #&^% is your problem??? You are a #$%# #$%^ing %^&($&#$@%er!!!!!!!
Scooter: Dude, totally wasn't my fault, I got caught in a rut and it just gave out, must have been poorly built
